Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

you mean, what is the price of a pizza, right ? and I guess it is pizza slices ...

1 hamburger = $2.50

5 hamburgers = 5×1 hamburger = 5×2.5 = $12.50

that leaves for the 11 pizzas (slices)

40 - 12.5 = $27.50

so, 1 pizza (slice) is

27.5 / 11 = $2.50

Answer 2

Answer:

One hamburger costs $2.50

One pizza also costs $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Nigel is the one purchasing lots of food for no reason.

Nigel bought 11 pizzas and 5 hamburgers for $40 (DAMMMM WHAT COUPON IS THAT??)

We can write this algebraically:

11p + 5b = 40

We know that the price of 1 Hamburger is $2.50.

Now we can plug that into out equation and find the price of one pizza:

11p + 5(2.50) = 40

11p + 12.5 = 40

11p = 27.5

p = 2.5

Now, we have the price of one pizza, $2.50
